If you run into any issues or bugs, please let me know (comment here or on Discord)! Thanks! 😊
And now, let's move on to the new update... the early access release of v0.8.0! 😀
Patreon release of v0.8.0
If you want to go into the update in blind: Stop reading and jump right in! 😉
For everyone else... keep reading! 😊
As mentioned in the past devlogs, this update is a Christmas special separate from the main story.
It takes place sometime in the future, so a few small things have changed... but of course, this update avoids spoilers for the main storyline 😉
Let's take a look at what we've got:
- A Christmas focused update, covered in snow... and other white stuff 😏
- Around 6,500 words of new dialogue!
- 2 new winter/Christmas outfits for Yuma's wardrobe! 🎅
- 2 new H scenes, featuring one of the outfits😏
- 2 new CG sets, plus multiple winter-themed versions of the usual backgrounds! ❄️
To access the side story, go to the "Scene Replay" screen and select "Side Stories" on the left.
By default, the side story is locked, and you'll need a 'side story ticket' to unlock it. That ticket is obtained from a secret in the point-and-click section of the previous version (v0.7).
If for some reason, unlocking the side story doesn't work, or the game doesn't display your ticket correctly, or you just don't want to bother with the ticket system:
You can simply use the "Jump To..." function on the "Continue" screen to access the Christmas side story directly 😅
(it's at the very bottom of the "Jump To..." screen)
Some screenshots from the new update:
As always, this version is available now on my Patreon for early access (just $2!) and will go public once v0.9.0 is ready!
I hope you enjoy this special! 🙂
It's a bit shorter than the usual updates, since my focus was to get it released before Christmas, but I think it turned out to be a fun side story, and personally, I really enjoyed writing it 😊
The winter theme is also a great match for the forest setting, so I'd love to do another winter story someday! ☃️
If you run into any problems or bugs, please let me know (comment here or on Discord)! Thanks! 😊
